glitch project represents a reflection on effects and damage caused by digital compression on media, such as graphics, photos, videos and sounds. The extreme degradation of content often leads to abstract patterns that gain a new kind of artificial beauty.
This topics are brought to life through various installations and performances with box36 friends, Antonio Cusimano and Luca Mannino.
Our first work, glitch tv, focuses on tv programs' banality and insignificance: it is composed by a small tv screen, where short excerpts (taken from major italian tv channels) are shown, and a big projection screen where the same excerpts are damaged and made almost unrecognizable, generating vivid and vibrant patterns. Interaction with public is encouraged through a remote controller to switch between different channels.
glitch tv was first shown on October 31st, 2009 during Electrofly party at Palermo University.
